15. Positive Reinforcement
Definition:
•In behaviorism, positive reinforcement occurs when a reward, sometimes
called a reinforcer, is given for a specific desired behavior. Other behaviors,
even those that are negative, are simply ignored. Over time, this will lead to
an increase in the desired behavior.
•Positive reinforcement must be individualized to the specific person
receiving it. What reinforces one person’s behavior may not have the same
effect on someone else.
Examples:
•Despite a driving phobia, Carla was able to drive to the mall in order to shop
at her favorite store. The experience of shopping was positive reinforcement
for the act of driving.
